Founded in 1982, the Capital Artisans Guild (formerly known as Cumberland Arts & Crafts Guild) began as a small gathering of like-minded Artisans who wanted to share their love for hand-made crafts, many one-of-a-kind. Since that time, the Guild has grown out of the Cumberland area just east of Ottawa to share their passion with artisans from Quebec and down to the Kingston area.

The OVCC | Artisans @ the Archives launches Spring with a celebration of the work of some of the best artists and artisans from across Ottawa, the Valley and the Outaouais. Celebrating pottery, glass, jewellery, paintings & drawings, wood turning, gourmet foods, fashion & accessories, photography, furniture & decor, sculpting, body & beauty and more. Come and enjoy a unique melange of medieval, steampunk, geek and traditional arts and crafts!.
